RWD Civic... Wouldn't that be fun

What about that dude that put the NSX RWD setup in the CRX? That would be fun AND kill any supra on the road with it's awesome power/weight ratio!

I have thought about a RWD honda for some time, but the only way to get it is to completely re-design the chassis and drive-train. Your best bet might be either the EF-wagon or get a new Ridgeline . IMO, wait until the ridgeline comes out with the V8, and then you will be set.

If this dude reccomends a 240sx, get something with at least some style and get a 1977 Ford Mustang II (aka the Pinto with an underpowered gas guzzling V8)

The 240sx is a nice car for drifting, but style???? I think a rainbow t-shirt has more style and flow than anything Nissan has ever come out with, not counting the late 70's Datsun 280ZX tire roasting power with JDM style (gotta have the fender mounted mirrors and window deflectors for that flavor, though)

Well it has been done before. I believe it was an Acura Legend V6 though...

Might be something worth looking into.

That's fine, the skyline is a "nice" JDM vehicle; end of "pc" statement.

Doesn't mean I have to like it or promote it. My opinion still stands. BTW, do you have a USDM skyline for sale in your garage? If you do, tell this guy as I am sure he will buy it. Let me know too, I need to see this to believe it.

FYI... I don't know if you realize this, but the 1978 Datsun 280ZX is a USDM vehicle similar in name to say... an Acura Integra. Acura is one of the North American divisions of Honda, is it not? Datsun was the same thing to Nissan, so if there is a "JDM Datsun 280ZX", wouldn't that make it a USDM vehicle with JDM parts? Show me a USDM Datsun skyline with JDM parts, and I will eat my words with a shovel.
